Answer 5

Bubble tea is also known as Boba Tea

Let me start by saying that I totally agree with you!  

I love Tea and had heard how great this was supposed to be and couldn't wait to try it.

Well, it tasted ok until I sucked up one of those Tapioca marbles in the bottom and was discusted.

I felt like I was "chewing" my drink.

It was terrible. I'll never order one again.

For those not familiar with this drink here is some info:

Bubble tea also known as boba, is a tea beverage that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s.

The literal translation from Chinese would be pearl milk tea (traditional Chinese: 珍珠奶茶; Hanyu Pinyin: zhēnzhū nǎichá; Tongyong Pinyin: jhenjhu nǎichá).

The word bubble refers to "bubbling", the process by which certain types of bubble tea are made, and not the actual tapioca balls).

The balls are often called "pearls." Drinks with large pearls are consumed along with the beverage through wide straws; while drinks with small pearls are consumed through normal straws.

Bubble tea is especially popular in many East Asian and Southeast Asian regions such as China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Brunei, Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and more recently popularized in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Answer 9

well i never heard of it !! but thanks for asking .. i just Google it .. and learn sth new ... yaaaaaaaaa

for every one like me does not know what the h**l is it .. here you go :

Bubble tea is a mixture of iced or hot sweetened tea, milk, and often other flavorings. The distinctive characteristics of bubble tea are the black gummy balls made of tapioca (or, more commonly in East Asia, yam starch[citation needed]), called "pearls" or "boba" or balls that sit at the bottom of the cup. The pearls are larger than those found in tapioca pudding, with a diameter of at least 6 millimeters, but smaller ones are occasionally used. They are generally translucent brown with a darker brown center, although pearls of other colors or 'jelly cubes' have also recently become available.
